SET UP YOUR TUNEBASE

Plug In Your TuneBase

Follow the steps in this section to set up your TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free (the

TuneBase). These steps coincide with those in the Quick Install Guide but provide more detail.

1. Insert your TuneBase into the power

outlet in your car.

2. Test the tightness of fit in the power

outlet. The TuneBase should give some

resistance when you try to rotate it inside

the power outlet. It should not rotate or

move on its own.

If the TuneBase is too loose or too

tight in the power outlet, see the

troubleshooting section for instructions

on adjusting

the fit.

Set Up

Warning: Do not rotate the TuneBase in the

power outlet. If you experience resistance,

unplug the TuneBase and reinsert it in

the desired position. Failure to do so may

damage the cigarette lighter adapter or

power outlet.

• Makesuretheringervolumeonyour

power. Some vehicles do not provide

power to the power outlet unless the

vehicle is in ignition mode or the engine

is running.

Your TuneBase and iPod are in the way of

your vehicle’s controls.

Solution

Use the flexible gooseneck and the

articulation behind the docking cradle to

position your TuneBase away from your

vehicle’s controls. Position the gooseneck in

as upright a position as possible in relation

to the power adapter.

You can quickly solve most problems with your TuneBase by following the advice in this

section.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your TuneBase rotates out of position

around the center of the power outlet.

Solution 1

Be sure to solidly attach the cigarette lighter

adapter of the TuneBase to the power outlet.

Test the stability by pushing it sideways

before driving.

Solution 2

In some vehicles, the power outlet is wider

than the cigarette lighter adapter of the

TuneBase. You may notice a wiggle in your

TuneBase when you push it. In that case,

slide the fit ring around the cigarette lighter

adapter of the TuneBase. Then, insert the

cigarette lighter adapter into the power

outlet, making sure that all four prongs of the

fit ring securely fit in the power outlet. If the

fit is too tight, you can cut off one or more of

the prongs on the fit ring and try the fit again

(see Solution 3).

Solution 3

The fit ring may be too large for some cars’

power adapters. Use scissors to carefully

cut as many prongs as you need. Try to fit

your TuneBase into the power outlet after

each cut. When cutting multiple prongs, cut

prongs on opposing sides.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your TuneBase connects firmly to the

power outlet, but it still rotates.

Solution

Check to see if the power outlet rotates in its

socket. If so, please consult your vehicle’s

manufacturer.

You cannot insert the cigarette lighter

adapter into the power outlet.

Solution

The cigarette lighter adapter’s rubber friction

washer may need to be centered. Follow the

steps below to center the friction washer.

1. Use pliers to loosen the nut on the front

of the cigarette lighter adapter slightly. It

is not necessary to remove the nut.

2. Move the friction washer back into

centered position.

3. Tighten the nut firmly.

The rubber friction washer remained in

the power outlet when you removed

your TuneBase.

Solution

This is rare, but if it occurs you can remove

the rubber washer from the power outlet and

place it back on the cigarette lighter adapter.

Warning: Disconnect the vehicle’s

battery. Any attempt to remove the

washer without disconnecting the

battery may result in physical harm to

you or damage to the vehicle.

Use pliers to carefully remove the friction

washer from the power outlet. Place the

friction washer back on the cigarette lighter

adapter. Then, reconnect the vehicle’s

battery.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Your TuneBase requires full concentration

and both hands to install. Do not attempt

to connect your TuneBase while driving.

Make sure your TuneBase fits securely and

firmly into the power outlet before driving.

After installation, make sure your TuneBase

does not freely rotate in the power outlet.

Do not attempt to adjust or retrieve

an unsecured TuneBase or iPod while

driving. Adjust the position of your

TuneBase so that it and your iPod do not

interfere with any of the operating controls

of the vehicle.

Do not insert any objects other than the

cigarette lighter adapter into the power

outlet without disconnecting the battery

of the vehicle first. Failure to observe

this safety warning can result in injury or

property damage.

Belkin does not assume any responsibility

for personal injury or property damage

incurred due to hazardous driving as a result

of interaction with the TuneBase, the iPod

and iPhone, or the vehicle’s power outlet.
